**Trip Details:**

I’m making some guesses on this one. We’ll drive to the snowline and go on foot from there. There’ll probably be snow and we’ll probably have to walk some road. I’m expecting about 6ish hours of move time; conditions will dictate.

While avi gear is not required you can bring it for some beacon hunt practice and search review. Same goes for mountaineering axe, a good chance to practice some skills on moderate terrain.

I’m reserving space for three others in this trip.
